This is my last spot as the Cute Card Thursday Guest Designer. This week we had to use a sketch by anyone we liked! I chose to use the Papertake Weekly sketch for this week (no.55) ...

Here was my take on the sketch ...

I used an image from Mo's digital pencil and coloured it using prismacolor pencils. I found the circle sentiment on 'Welcome to my art addiction' - free digi's!! This card is for my son who will be turning 11 very soon - how time flies!!

I remembered to post on time this week!!! Yeh!!! The theme over on Cute card Thursday this week was 'No text' - that was a lot harder than I thought!!! Here us mine ...

I used a digi image from The Paper Shelter called 'shopping girl' which I coloured with prismacolor pencils, spotty patterned paper (can't remember the make sorry!!), I handstitched around the edge of the card, and used embellishments that I got from Michaels at a bargain $0.49 (and I've still got loads of them left!!). Hope you like it.

I was also asked to be the guest designer on Cute Card Thursday for the month of April - thanks Deb!! :-)I forgot to post this on my blog!! Oooops!! Here is my card for last Thursday's challenge - Weather.

I used Meljen's 'Umbrella Boy' digital stamp and Meljen's 'April Showers' wording. I coloured the images with prismacolor pencils, handstitched the rain and added cloud and water embellishments.

Ok - so now I have a bit of time to breathe - I thought I best update my blog!! I took part in the online crop over on Colorful Creations the other weekend, and ended up completing soooo many challenges I lost count!!! Here are the results of my weekend!!

I also completed the previously posted 'Country girl' card for a spring themed challenge.

This card was to follow a colour theme!

This was a copy the sketch layout with 'Spring' in the title.

This card was a copy the sketch.

This layout had to use a quote. I used 2:"For now in mummy's tummy...forever in her heart""Before you were born...I loved you Xxx"

Another card!!! This one had to be a book card. (I cheated on this one and printed out the coloured in image!!!)

Inside of the card.

This is my all time favourute!!! I just LOVE this photo!! This challenge was a copy the sketch challenge - and I only had 1 HOUR to complete it!!! But it's the best one yet!!! I have since re-done the stitching on the page with proper stitches (I drew them on for the challenge otherwise I would never have finished it in time!!!)

I had great fun during this weekend. Colorful Creations are celebrating their first anniversary next month, so lots more challenges and fun to be had!!! :-)

This week's challenge (no. 159) over at Cute Card Thursday was "tropical'! I found this gorgeous image over at Stitchy Bear digital images. Excuse the way the picture has turned out - the lighting outside was rubbish and so the colouring doesn't look as good as in real life!! (That's my excuse anyway!!)

I followed a sketch from the Sweet sketch Wednesday challenge (no. 96) which I am entering this card into. I am also entering it into the following:

My daughter was desperate for me to start work on her scrapbook album, so here we go...

I am entering this page into a challenge over at Colourful Creations (to use 3 different pieces of chipboard - flower, heart and 2 types of letters). This page turned out a lot better than I expected - the challenge kept me stumped for a long time!!
